SOLD OUT Images and objects provide wonderful insights into history, culture, and civilizations around the world. This in-depth, two-day workshop explores how to use works of art to build empathy, critical thinking, visual literacy, and problem-solving skills in social studies instruction. In these interactive sessions, we discuss arts integrations strategies to identify ways to incorporate visual images into the social studies curriculum and the recently updated standards.

Create a nightlight cover inspired by the floral and geometric shapes found in Anila Quayyum Agha: Let A Million Flowers Bloom during its closing weekend.

Get insight on art from our knowledgeable group of interpretive guides. Docents will be stationed throughout the galleries to chat and answer questions about works on view. Look for their “Ask me about the art!” buttons to learn more.

Join us as we discuss tails, beaks, and feathers. Explore the galleries and find out what birds have in common and how they look, move, and behave through stories, art, and creating. Key topic: birds.
